I'm 38, 5'11, 222lbs, wedding in 7 months. Need to be 185lbs This man journey/sacrifice is my goal. UPDATE 1: 2 weeks passed, I'm down to 214lbs UPDATE 2: 04/07/21. Im down to 205lbs UPDATE 3: 06/02/21. I'm down to 198! Went down another notch on my belt 😀 UPDATE 4: 05/14/23. Went upto 208 for a long period, but now down to a consistent 193lbs. Trying to get to 190.
I’m on the same journey. Gonna join the Marines. I was 352 at the beginning of July. Now, on November 1st, I’m 295. There is no try. I will make it. Update: I’m down to 245. I lost 110 pounds in 9 months. Wanna talk to a recruiter, but as far as I know, all the recruiting offices are closed. Update 2: I’ve been working with recruiters for a month now. Gonna need an age waiver in a few days. Shipping as soon as everything is worked out. Update 3: More than likely shipping this Sunday. It’s been a long journey. Final update: Graduated on July 16th. 4th RTBN PAPA Company Platoon 4024. Living proof that you can do anything you set your mind to.
Yea man I want to join the military but I’ve always quit at everything in life,my dad was in the marines for 20 years and here I am at 22 not doing shit with my life only have a ged not even sure if they will let me in.just scared that if I try and fail it will make me even more depressed,ik I’m running out of time but I don’t what to do
Ryan Stephens you are not running out of time. I’m 28. I was 27 when I decided I for sure wanted to join. Cut off for active duty is 28. I have until July. I will make it. Only way to know if they’ll take you is to talk to a recruiter. Do it.
Corndog Sauceman weighed in at 285 today, but that’s after a hard day of drinking. Almost a gallon of water. The weight loss has slowed down a little, but my personal trainer told me not to worry so much about the number right now. I feel that she’s right. Especially since my clothes are becoming looser and looser every day. I’ve had to poke notches into my belt to make it hold up my pants. Because I’m too cheap to buy new clothes. I’ll make it.
This podcast dropped on the day that I interviewed for a job I didn’t want, that I knew would lock me into mediocrity. I had been struggling with depression and other things grappling with going to college, but I thought I was too stupid to do it. This guy said everything on this podcast that I needed to hear. From confronting what you think is impossible, not telling yourself you can’t do something, and finding a way to make it happen, etc. I graduate from college next semester with a degree in business management, where I have a job lined up making 6 figures in a genuinely exciting industry. I thought I would be condemned to mediocrity for my entire life, but things looked up for me after I took the advice given here, by one of the baddest dudes around. So to anyone watching or reading this, pursue what you think is challenging, identify what is in your way in life and move it the fuck out of your way. Get after your life and take ownership of your predicament and good things will happen.
I'm honestly proud of you. I don't who you are but I am genuinely proud of you fella. There are cowards like me who fail once (a girl rejecting me) and I don't want to go through it again. I want to live in my comfort zone, and just live alone.
Great job but are you afraid of pissing everywhere in your new office? I always get nervous about new spaces and not being able to piss like a normal person

respect to Joe Rogan for just listening to this guy talk. he interjected to ask good questions. so many talk show hosts just want to hear themselves talk. this was a great show.
Very true.. that's why I don't listen to Steve-Os wild ride anymore, it just steve talking about himself .. and Rogan has interesting people on, you learn new things and create new curiosity.

I had a buddy who was a former SEAL. I’m a former Marine so we’d talk about our military experiences, compare/contrast, and of course, bust balls. One day we were just hanging out, having a good time, when I jokingly called him Super Man. All of a sudden he got really serious and said, “A lot of people think that about us-that we’re indescribable or better than they are. The truth is we’re just too dumb to quit.” I think that’s a life lesson that my buddy, David Goggins, and a lot of others in that community have learned. My wife has a degenerative, chronic illness and she now says it all the time when things get bad. Too dumb to quit is how we try to live our lives.
Man I’m 36 and I’m 355 pounds. A lot of his stuff I can relate to. I’m going to do this. I’m starting extremely late, but I have to do this. I have a son that needs me in his life.
Joe Rogan has the extremely impressive, patient, and selfless ability to just sit & genuinely listen to people. I’ve seen this video before, but I’m currently 12 ½ minutes in and he probably has 1 minute tops of speaking time. It’s no wonder his podcast is so successful. What a guy
The completely rawness of this interview is exactly what makes Joe Rogans podcast the best. David is pouring his heart out, as a viewer, that is just beautiful. That's exactly what mainstream polished media is lacking.
This man here is the literal definition of mind over matter. He strictly focused and strengthened his mind and his body had to follow. The only thing that can stop your body from moving or doing anything terrifying is your mind. I watched multiple Goggins inspiration videos and I went sky diving. Terrified of heights and planes, the first plane I ever got on in my life I jumped out and went skydiving. Best moment of my entire life.
I mean he did use several medications to help him lose weight and other things, so you definitely can't say it's all mind power. Sometimes medical intervention is required for those who have health issues like how Goggins has a thyroid disorder. Which caused his weight gain. And the medication caused the weight loss. Otherwise he'd still be eating chocolate milkshakes. The mental toughness started to come only after dealing with his medical issues. And apparently stretching cured him so ya. Maybe its just me but I get liver king vibes from Goggins sometimes.
Johnny Chanda They raised the age a bit. There are also waivers. If you’re already enlisted, the standards are looser for cross-training as long as you qualify. A few ways to get there.
Rather not .. Reality never meets Hollywood. As I think more about it. Live documentary where certain scenes are played by actors, but David would comment them. Something what Discovery channel does.
This guy is absolutely captivating, not just for his accomplishments but the sorrow in his voice as his tells you his story. Makes me believe anyone can overcome anything.
Starting my journey today. Weighing in at 255 at 5’10. I have my physical for the Army in less than two months. I will do this! UPDATE- A LOT has happened this past year. I had to get a few waivers… wait for them to get approved. But FINALLY, I can schedule my physical! I’m 230 right now and have to get to 210 to officially schedule my physical! Will keep y’all posted.
What means the most to be about David is not his physical feats but his honesty. I appreciate how he opens up about the barriers in his mind regarding his past trauma and how he faked being the tough guy.
314 down to 145 here (5'6'' male)...I hate using the words "weight loss journey" b/c it is such a bullshitty sounding phrase, but the reality is that I've never met anyone that has lost a significant amount of weight and make a real permanent life-style change without having some kind of psychological moment...addicts call it "hitting rock bottom", and as much as I hate to sound overly dramatic, it is a real thing when it comes to reversing something like morbid obesity.
dont put goggins in the same vein as "enlightened" people. Even saying someone is enlightened makes you look stupid af. Goggins obviously understood that the only happiness in life that is worth a damn thing is the one gained by facing suffering and he faces that shit non-stop.
David Goggins is a role model for all of us. He shows us that even if we start from an extremely low point, we can ascend to unimaginable heights through unbridled passion and desire that overcomes all obstacles that are in our path. We have no limits except those that we acknowledge. David Goggins learned to say F**K NO!! to all limits. David wanted to be a man who detests mediocrity. Be like David.
I'm an Army veteran. I love David. He inspired me so much. Watching all these videos has really made me rethink what I'm doing with my life. Love your podcast.
Bro ... It takes a brave man to admit all of this and still keep going. Most warriors get PTSD when they go to war. He pushed through his PTSD just to get to war. He went from being afraid of water to being afraid to be afraid. Respect. #hardcore
I'm almost 60 and had a heart attack last September. I was 306 at the time. I'm down to 258 at present but have hit a wall in part to some excuses I've started to use. I have an issue with my foot and I've reverted back on some of the foods I shouldn't be eating. This is the kind of thing I need to hear to show me that I can still do it. I don't want to die yet. I have more good to do.
I hope you're still with us Scott. Lost my brother in June this year and I miss him dearly. All you can do is do your best everyday and love and appreciate your friends and family.
Home Studio Basics u never even talked to her before and u were already thinking of making her your wife lol ... so it was all wrong to begin with !! And by talking to her u actually came over your fear and took a chance .. atleast now u don’t have any regret ..
This is the most inspirational stories I have ever heard. He was so relatable to us at his worst and makes you truly believe if you can conquer your mind you can do almost anything.
*I'm writing this for myself.* *I'm watching this crying. I didnt suffer the same as David, but I have suffered. My abusive stepdad created so many insecurities. My real father was just as bad. The only good father figure in my life died when I was young. I was helping him build an above ground pool, and instead of using the ladder to get over the wall, I jumped over to grab a shovel. He did the same as me and he had a heart attack. He died in front of me. I started using drugs, and it got really bad. The story goes on, but I'm currently being sidetracked by my daughter at the moment. I have that same voice he speaks of telling me I need to do better for myself and my family. I need to do this. If David can do it, I can do it. I NEED to do it.* *My daughter is making this emotional moment slowly fade. I need to make sure I dont push this voice away again. I need help. I need to succeed. Thank you David. I hope I can follow in your steps.*
@@shonerado Thank you for the comment reply! It made me read what I wrote, and it gave me a boost today that I really needed! Thanks again, and happy new year!!
@@SpiderPrank7 *Thanks brother! I actually have been working extra hard and its paying off! I'm 6'4" and weighed 185lbs for the last couple years, I weighed myself yesterday, and I weigh 201!!!! Gained 16lbs since the last time I checked around early December!* *It feels good to feel good, I wish the best for you too! I appreciate your kind words, thanks again brother!*
Similar story. I was 265 pounds. Grew up an athlete so a lot of my friends were athletes and remained athletes. Seeing their athleticism progress while I went backwards was beyond embarrassing. I started running again. Started at a half mile at a time and worked my way up. I got down to 175 pounds in about 7 months while working up to running 5-10 miles every single day. I now weigh close to 190 pounds, all of the increased weight is muscle. I started personal training at a moderately sized local gym, quickly became one of the top trainers there, and now I am starting out at a huge, very high end gym. While I was going to school for exercise science, I always used to say “I have no idea what I’m going to use this degree for, because I’m too fat to be a trainer.” Also, next Saturday I will be competing in an 8 hour long “tough mudder” race. It is never too late to turn your life around.
Goggins is the difference between making excuses. I listened to his background story and didn’t feel bad. Could care less honestly. It’s common in my background. But him fighting and failing and continuing to attempt his goals. It’s very inspiring. There’s a difference here. You can describe your back ground and not seem like your whining as long as you keep striving for the win.
Probably the most powerful thing I’ve ever heard. It’s so true. The calmest I’ve ever been is working my ass off, school, work, etc. But when I sit around like a fuckhead I have brutal anxiety.
David Goggins is the real hero - we need to give him a life time recognition and achievement award for being the person he chooses to be and inspire all of us
18 months ago I was 373lbs, no job, lived with my parents (24YO at the time), no responsibilities (other than college), miserable. Today I weighed in at 254 lbs (still working down to 225, but I will get there by the end of the year), working a new job making almost 100,000 per year, eating healthy, great girlfriend, go to the gym 5 days a week and wake up smiling every damn day. I found David Goggin's about 7 months into my weight loss journey and his story has truly changed my life for the better. After reading his books and listening to his podcasts on JRE and others it had made me stop feeling so alone. I still come back to these videos on days where life gets hard and they ALWAYS remind me that I am being a little bitch and to sack up. In the last 18 months I have ran a 5k, and became a recreational cyclist putting 8-10 miles a day in on the bike while running and jogging afterword for 30 minutes to an hour daily. Hearing Goggins message almost feels like it woke my ass up to life and was the message I needed to hear almost a year ago.
His response to being asked by people if he's happy is GOLDEN. He said he's extremely proud of the person he became and that the look on his face isn't someone who's sad, its someone who's driven.
The most badass thing i have ever seen this guy do is admit he quit because of the fear of water, and not the medical condition. I know he went back in and absolutely destroyed, but man, i love his honesty.
In the middle of a weight loss journey here. 28 years old right now and weigh in about 230lbs (6ft1). I found out about this guy through a childhood buddy who is a marine vet and does PMC work now. Out of high school, I weighed 375 lbs, I was unhappy and unsure of where to go in life because ultimately I wanted to go into the military. I end up going to culinary school, learning a lot about nutrition and how to properly cook for myself. I lost incredible weight and realized my dream of going into the Army isn't that far-fetched anymore. I've recently quit my Executive Chef position to focus solely on chasing my dream. This man is literally everything I've made myself into lately. (Of course, I'm not quite on his level but every day I'm pushing myself to be a better version.) But the MIND IS WHAT YOU CREATE IT. For all of those out there struggling, you can do it. Thank you Goggins, you truly are a hero.
He wanted to be the guy who kept getting up - mission achieved! I think there is something real about the way he didn't dream about dominating anything more than his own fears and self doubt and weakness. He didn't start off saying I will be the champion of the world and get massive contracts and sex on tap. Just self improvement at the most basic but honest and challenging level. So inspiring! No matter what demons you battle there is so much to learn from this guy. Thanks for sharing!
DG turned down numerous offers and big money for his book, but he declined and did it on his own. He’s the epitome of self reliance and accountability.
They offered him some low-ball deal because they thought there wasn't a market for it. He told them to go stick it and made something like 5x the amount they offered
I relate to this guy so much. I was a 300 pound kid, and ended up skipping class because going to school was hell for me. I eventually had to drop out, and moved to another town away from all of the toxic people in my life. I started working, exercising, and attending night classes to get a diploma. In about a year's time I had lost over 100 pounds, and finally joined the ARMY, which was a reality check for me. I had been really sheltered since I was a fat kid who never did anything, and I didn't realize that just because I lost weight, didn't mean that I was going to be in shape. I ended up being so insecure about how out of shape I was that I would work out at least 2 hours a day (morning PT, hitting the gym during the hour and a half lunch break they gave us at Fort Campbell, and going on a run and doing pull-ups and push-ups outside the barracks before bed). Even though in my mind I was completely out of shape, I was regarded as the most physically fit person in our unit. I ended up going to war, and it motivated me to start working out even more because a lot of people in our unit who were getting killed, probably wouldn't have gotten killed if they were 100% with it. While other soldiers would come back and play X-box, I would be working out or cleaning my rifle or trying to learn something new that I might be able to use to save my life. I didn't want to die because I was lazy, so this pushed me to train even harder. When I came back to the states I saw the world completely differently, it's almost like living in a different realm than everyone else. I had that for many years after I got out of the Military, but I slowly felt myself becoming more civilized and domesticated and lazier and weaker. It's been so long now that it doesn't even feel real.
I always thought when i was in .. being sent to war would waken me up and id be so disciplined to stay alive but you got to look for that reason to stay alive living in a domesticated country.. it sucks but you gotta live every day like its your last
Go join the reserves my friend one weekend a month but you'll spend at least an hour every day on it and that doesn't include the working out that you do between battle assemblies go back plus it gets you out of your boring normal routine of working you get to go to volunteer for schools be the UPL the darn the sharp Vol I did all those things and had a blast I had to go as a forty-year-old against 18 year olds and I kick most of their asses so it'll keep you in that mindset
No. Jordan Peterson is a cream puff who's made an entire career out of talking tough, but crumbles when challenged. His whole philosophy is based in fucking Greek mythology. Not to mention he's racist to boot. Fuck that guy.
At the time of this video, I am 18 years old in July. I weigh 238lbs. I am 5”7 and I’ve been going to the gym for 2 weeks. When I started I was 241lbs and lost 3lbs in two weeks. After weeks of watching videos like this I’m aiming towards becoming a Navy SEAL. I’m well aware of the journey that lies ahead but I’m willing to take it. My goal by the end of the year is to be 210lbs or 95 Kg. I can’t even comprehend the challenges I’m going to face but after the realisation of my life and the many problems in the world, this is what I want to do. I want to train to be the best of the best. No more last place, no more second place. I’ve realised the whole journey starts with you. It’s up to YOU to make the change, no one else. Sure people will always try to bring you down, I know that all to well, but they won’t even be a thought when you get to where you want to be, where you need to be. Stay hard everyone.
At 65 years old I had been a chain smoker for 54 years. I had been an alcoholic for 35 years. I was 6’1” tall and 350 pounds. I decided I needed to quit smoking, quit drinking and lose 160 pounds. 30 months later I was a non-smoker, non-drinker and had lost 160 pounds. No meetings, no patches, no nicotine gum! Mind over matter… I told myself I was willing to suffer the discomfort required to break addictions no matter how much discomfort came my way . If you can dream it you can do it… 👍
when he was talking about his conscience nagging him, and how he wanted to ignore that voice in his head but he couldn't escape it, holy shit it's like he's talking about me
stilo u typed out a comment saying it’s “omg that’s literally talking about me” what else r u implying. Like 90% of this comment section are people with the exact problem, ur not special and I meant that as a good thing. U aren’t the only one out there with that problem. Ur not alone.
I love how he allows his guests to fully unfold their stories instead of just questions and quick answers. This lets us see the psychological aspects that shaped these people
One sentence pushed me through ever obstacle I had in life. While I was in my early 20’s I had an older lady see how defeated I was over the amount of work I had to do. She said “Sonia work the work, don’t let the work, work you” From that day on - that one sentence I applied to everything in my life. Work through the task in hand, go on to the next. Once you complete one task, you are one step closer. You can apply this to anything in your life. That old woman that said those words to me has no idea, she changed my life.
“I found things that were comfortable, and the more things I found comfortable the more my mind was uncomfortable” A lot just won’t get how deep that is..

'I was that guy who ran away from absolutly everything that I got in fron of me' that´s an authentic leap of faith out of desperation . respect
This man here is the literal definition of mind over matter. He strictly focused and strengthened his mind and his body had to follow. The only thing that can stop your body from moving or doing anything terrifying is your mind. I watched multiple Goggins inspiration videos and I went sky diving. Terrified of heights and planes, the first plane I ever got on in my life I jumped out and went skydiving. Best moment of my entire life.
I mean he did use several medications to help him lose weight and other things, so you definitely can't say it's all mind power. Sometimes medical intervention is required for those who have health issues like how Goggins has a thyroid disorder. Which caused his weight gain. And the medication caused the weight loss. Otherwise he'd still be eating chocolate milkshakes. The mental toughness started to come only after dealing with his medical issues. And apparently stretching cured him so ya. Maybe its just me but I get liver king vibes from Goggins sometimes.

one year after finding goggins, im about to ship for pararescue at 33 years old.
goodness, wow, congratulations, and thanks for your service
Hooyah brother, don't give up, you will regret it the rest of your life... You can fail and it's okay, but quitting will haunt you, believe me I know
Hmmmm isnt there a cut off age? 33 years seems pretty old.
Johnny Chanda They raised the age a bit. There are also waivers. If you’re already enlisted, the standards are looser for cross-training as long as you qualify. A few ways to get there.
BRAVO ZULU
This needs to be made into a movie
David Goggins as David Goggins.
It will be
glad im not the only one
Rather not .. Reality never meets Hollywood. As I think more about it. Live documentary where certain scenes are played by actors, but David would comment them. Something what Discovery channel does.

Starting my journey today. Weighing in at 255 at 5’10. I have my physical for the Army in less than two months. I will do this!

Hope you are successful

Bro how did we go
David Goggins is peak resilience. A walking living definition of resilience.
I can tell Goggins wants to cry reminiscing about his journey but his mental toughness is unbelievable, I'm going to buy his book.
I suggest listening to the audio book! The narrator and David get in depth between chapters. Great listen on my morning runs.
Totally worth it
His book was so good I finished it today
Suppressing emotions isn't the same thing as toughness
@@charliecrome207 I said “mental toughness” being able to shut of emotions to complete an objective is toughness.
“Nobody’s gonna come save me” powerful
What means the most to be about David is not his physical feats but his honesty. I appreciate how he opens up about the barriers in his mind regarding his past trauma and how he faked being the tough guy.
314 down to 145 here (5'6'' male)...I hate using the words "weight loss journey" b/c it is such a bullshitty sounding phrase, but the reality is that I've never met anyone that has lost a significant amount of weight and make a real permanent life-style change without having some kind of psychological moment...addicts call it "hitting rock bottom", and as much as I hate to sound overly dramatic, it is a real thing when it comes to reversing something like morbid obesity.
Congratulations 🎊 👏🏽
I flat out feel unqualified to swear ever again.
One of the best comments!
Haha love it
He’s very enlightened. This is what *knowing* *thyself* means.
.
Chill
dont put goggins in the same vein as "enlightened" people. Even saying someone is enlightened makes you look stupid af.
Goggins obviously understood that the only happiness in life that is worth a damn thing is the one gained by facing suffering and he faces that shit non-stop.
I'm not sure you know what enlightened means
watch the Jordan Peterson video on knowing thyself. In a nutshell, Brutal self honesty.
what a beast of a man. more people need to watch this video.
David Goggins is a role model for all of us. He shows us that even if we start from an extremely low point, we can ascend to unimaginable heights through unbridled passion and desire that overcomes all obstacles that are in our path. We have no limits except those that we acknowledge. David Goggins learned to say F**K NO!! to all limits. David wanted to be a man who detests mediocrity. Be like David.
"I will fail and fail and fail . . . until I succeed . . ."

This dude is the definition of personal responsibility and hard work.
One of Joe Rogan's best interviews, he is actually quiet.
Yeah and I bet he was just soaking it all in just as well all are!
Bro ... It takes a brave man to admit all of this and still keep going. Most warriors get PTSD when they go to war. He pushed through his PTSD just to get to war. He went from being afraid of water to being afraid to be afraid. Respect.

I'm almost 60 and had a heart attack last September. I was 306 at the time. I'm down to 258 at present but have hit a wall in part to some excuses I've started to use. I have an issue with my foot and I've reverted back on some of the foods I shouldn't be eating. This is the kind of thing I need to hear to show me that I can still do it. I don't want to die yet. I have more good to do.
You got this!
I hope you're still with us Scott. Lost my brother in June this year and I miss him dearly. All you can do is do your best everyday and love and appreciate your friends and family.
Losing weight is 90% diet and 10% exercise. Stay determined.
Updates?
This guy is my new fucking hero.
You must've missed the parts where he loathed white people and basically blamed them for his issues. He's infatuated with race. Nice hero though.
This guy is on steroids...
When did he say that>?
I'm pretty sure David Goggins had an Oedipus Complex.
he was called n word his whole life in school and he lived few meters away from kkk clan. He never said anything about any race. stfu

This is the most inspirational stories I have ever heard. He was so relatable to us at his worst and makes you truly believe if you can conquer your mind you can do almost anything.
Most people are too lazy to do what this man did. He is truly an inspiration
Started this video eating snacks on the couch, 10 minutes in and Im dressed and ready for the gym. Thank you, Sir!
*I'm writing this for myself.*
*I'm watching this crying. I didnt suffer the same as David, but I have suffered. My abusive stepdad created so many insecurities. My real father was just as bad. The only good father figure in my life died when I was young. I was helping him build an above ground pool, and instead of using the ladder to get over the wall, I jumped over to grab a shovel. He did the same as me and he had a heart attack. He died in front of me. I started using drugs, and it got really bad. The story goes on, but I'm currently being sidetracked by my daughter at the moment. I have that same voice he speaks of telling me I need to do better for myself and my family. I need to do this. If David can do it, I can do it. I NEED to do it.*
*My daughter is making this emotional moment slowly fade. I need to make sure I dont push this voice away again. I need help. I need to succeed. Thank you David. I hope I can follow in your steps.*

@@Denzel_Watchington freaking amazing progress dude !!!! Don't u fucking stop !!!
Similar story. I was 265 pounds. Grew up an athlete so a lot of my friends were athletes and remained athletes. Seeing their athleticism progress while I went backwards was beyond embarrassing. I started running again. Started at a half mile at a time and worked my way up. I got down to 175 pounds in about 7 months while working up to running 5-10 miles every single day. I now weigh close to 190 pounds, all of the increased weight is muscle. I started personal training at a moderately sized local gym, quickly became one of the top trainers there, and now I am starting out at a huge, very high end gym. While I was going to school for exercise science, I always used to say “I have no idea what I’m going to use this degree for, because I’m too fat to be a trainer.” Also, next Saturday I will be competing in an 8 hour long “tough mudder” race. It is never too late to turn your life around.
I’m only 18 yo and David Goggins has to be the most relatable being ever. A true person.
David inspired me to lose weight and I already lost almost 20kg/45lbs and I will keep going

David “hurts so good” goggins
Story brings a grown man to tears. I can feel the emotion
Goggins is the difference between making excuses. I listened to his background story and didn’t feel bad. Could care less honestly. It’s common in my background. But him fighting and failing and continuing to attempt his goals. It’s very inspiring. There’s a difference here. You can describe your back ground and not seem like your whining as long as you keep striving for the win.
Why did you feel the need to state you could care less? What's wrong with having empathy for others?

Good guy Joe, letting the man tell his story without interrupting him
18 months ago I was 373lbs, no job, lived with my parents (24YO at the time), no responsibilities (other than college), miserable. Today I weighed in at 254 lbs (still working down to 225, but I will get there by the end of the year), working a new job making almost 100,000 per year, eating healthy, great girlfriend, go to the gym 5 days a week and wake up smiling every damn day. I found David Goggin's about 7 months into my weight loss journey and his story has truly changed my life for the better. After reading his books and listening to his podcasts on JRE and others it had made me stop feeling so alone. I still come back to these videos on days where life gets hard and they ALWAYS remind me that I am being a little bitch and to sack up. In the last 18 months I have ran a 5k, and became a recreational cyclist putting 8-10 miles a day in on the bike while running and jogging afterword for 30 minutes to an hour daily. Hearing Goggins message almost feels like it woke my ass up to life and was the message I needed to hear almost a year ago.
As a 21 year military veteran, let me say this is a real man.
What a great story of persistence.
Nice Thom
His response to being asked by people if he's happy is GOLDEN. He said he's extremely proud of the person he became and that the look on his face isn't someone who's sad, its someone who's driven.
The most badass thing i have ever seen this guy do is admit he quit because of the fear of water, and not the medical condition. I know he went back in and absolutely destroyed, but man, i love his honesty.
In the middle of a weight loss journey here. 28 years old right now and weigh in about 230lbs (6ft1). I found out about this guy through a childhood buddy who is a marine vet and does PMC work now. Out of high school, I weighed 375 lbs, I was unhappy and unsure of where to go in life because ultimately I wanted to go into the military. I end up going to culinary school, learning a lot about nutrition and how to properly cook for myself. I lost incredible weight and realized my dream of going into the Army isn't that far-fetched anymore. I've recently quit my Executive Chef position to focus solely on chasing my dream. This man is literally everything I've made myself into lately. (Of course, I'm not quite on his level but every day I'm pushing myself to be a better version.) But the MIND IS WHAT YOU CREATE IT. For all of those out there struggling, you can do it.
Thank you Goggins, you truly are a hero.
If this story doesnt motivate you to do what you really want to do in life, start it again and listen to it properly!
This is motivating, I been there brother, dropping 100 pounds in 3 months in order to join the United States Marines! Hoorah Baby, the power within!
Neville Boone that’s awesome man. Very motivating.
Congrats 🎉. I lost 42 pounds in 6 months. 100 pounds in 3 months seems unfreakinreal man
I just lost 100lbs and it’s been 8.5 months
I lost 130lbs in a year to join the Marines back in 2014. Trust me when I say, you can do it. Semper Fidelis
Wish it was a better reason.
A man who found himself
He wanted to be the guy who kept getting up - mission achieved! I think there is something real about the way he didn't dream about dominating anything more than his own fears and self doubt and weakness. He didn't start off saying I will be the champion of the world and get massive contracts and sex on tap. Just self improvement at the most basic but honest and challenging level. So inspiring! No matter what demons you battle there is so much to learn from this guy. Thanks for sharing!
DG turned down numerous offers and big money for his book, but he declined and did it on his own. He’s the epitome of self reliance and accountability.
Reading it now
They offered him some low-ball deal because they thought there wasn't a market for it. He told them to go stick it and made something like 5x the amount they offered
I relate to this guy so much. I was a 300 pound kid, and ended up skipping class because going to school was hell for me. I eventually had to drop out, and moved to another town away from all of the toxic people in my life. I started working, exercising, and attending night classes to get a diploma. In about a year's time I had lost over 100 pounds, and finally joined the ARMY, which was a reality check for me. I had been really sheltered since I was a fat kid who never did anything, and I didn't realize that just because I lost weight, didn't mean that I was going to be in shape. I ended up being so insecure about how out of shape I was that I would work out at least 2 hours a day (morning PT, hitting the gym during the hour and a half lunch break they gave us at Fort Campbell, and going on a run and doing pull-ups and push-ups outside the barracks before bed). Even though in my mind I was completely out of shape, I was regarded as the most physically fit person in our unit. I ended up going to war, and it motivated me to start working out even more because a lot of people in our unit who were getting killed, probably wouldn't have gotten killed if they were 100% with it. While other soldiers would come back and play X-box, I would be working out or cleaning my rifle or trying to learn something new that I might be able to use to save my life. I didn't want to die because I was lazy, so this pushed me to train even harder. When I came back to the states I saw the world completely differently, it's almost like living in a different realm than everyone else. I had that for many years after I got out of the Military, but I slowly felt myself becoming more civilized and domesticated and lazier and weaker. It's been so long now that it doesn't even feel real.
Get bsck on the horse, man. Now is the time.
Ready
Set
Go!
I always thought when i was in .. being sent to war would waken me up and id be so disciplined to stay alive but you got to look for that reason to stay alive living in a domesticated country.. it sucks but you gotta live every day like its your last
Go join the reserves my friend one weekend a month but you'll spend at least an hour every day on it and that doesn't include the working out that you do between battle assemblies go back plus it gets you out of your boring normal routine of working you get to go to volunteer for schools be the UPL the darn the sharp Vol I did all those things and had a blast I had to go as a forty-year-old against 18 year olds and I kick most of their asses so it'll keep you in that mindset

At the time of this video, I am 18 years old in July. I weigh 238lbs. I am 5”7 and I’ve been going to the gym for 2 weeks. When I started I was 241lbs and lost 3lbs in two weeks. After weeks of watching videos like this I’m aiming towards becoming a Navy SEAL. I’m well aware of the journey that lies ahead but I’m willing to take it. My goal by the end of the year is to be 210lbs or 95 Kg. I can’t even comprehend the challenges I’m going to face but after the realisation of my life and the many problems in the world, this is what I want to do. I want to train to be the best of the best. No more last place, no more second place. I’ve realised the whole journey starts with you. It’s up to YOU to make the change, no one else.

David Goggins is so awesome. He made up his mind I'm not going to let people dictate my life.
At 65 years old I had been a chain smoker for 54 years. I had been an alcoholic for 35 years. I was 6’1” tall and 350 pounds. I decided I needed to quit smoking, quit drinking and lose 160 pounds.
30 months later I was a non-smoker, non-drinker and had lost 160 pounds.
No meetings, no patches, no nicotine gum!
Mind over matter… I told myself I was willing to suffer the discomfort required to break addictions no matter how much discomfort came my way .

How you doing?
One sentence pushed me through ever obstacle I had in life.
While I was in my early 20’s I had an older lady see how defeated I was over the amount of work I had to do.
She said “Sonia work the work, don’t let the work, work you”
From that day on - that one sentence I applied to everything in my life.
Work through the task in hand, go on to the next. Once you complete one task, you are one step closer. You can apply this to anything in your life.
That old woman that said those words to me has no idea, she changed my life.
“I found things that were comfortable, and the more things I found comfortable the more my mind was uncomfortable”
A lot just won’t get how deep that is..
